Suggest Treatment For Swollen Bruised Leg After An Injury
i bumped my leg very hard against an iron draw bar 10 days ago. It swelled and was extremely bruised. The bruising is subsiding, but center has a hard red spot approximately the size of a quarter. Sore to touch. Should I be concerned? I am 70 years old, in good health and do not take any Rx meds.

this much is enough for you
and observe the reddish area and swelling
